Kudos to the entire defense for stepping up when it needed to...don't care if they get torched every game as long we get a win.

BTW - Good game for Ziggy playing in place of Keisel, especially with a huge sack at the end.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

Actually, that's a big part of it. Tunch & Wolf went over it on steelers.com. Then, Dungy and Harrison went over it on NBC as well. A lot of it was about taking Megatron away by giving Ike a little help.

Defense never gave up after that 27 point 2nd qrtr. Which was good to see. A nice pick by Wil Allen and a nice strip on a potential long reception in the 4th by Willie Gay. That has to be good for the defense's confidence after that 1st half.

We brought more pressure and the safeties stayed home in coverage to help prevent some big plays. I think the problems in the first half were more execution than the scheme. Detroit also seemed to have a lot of drops in the 2nd half.

I was pretty impressed by Stafford even in their loss. He played pretty well in those conditions.

We played Will Allen in place of Ryan Clark a lot more? I'm not sure if this happened, but it sure seemed like Will was back there in the second half putting in work that Clark "should have" in the first half. will have to go back and watch the game again to see if this is true.
